Rees, 22, of Bridgend admitted two counts of controlling or coercive behaviour and was jailed for 16 months as well as being given a five-year restraining order from Bethan and the other woman.

Sentencing him at Cardiff Crown Court last year, Judge Jeremy Jenkins said: “Your behaviour demonstrates that you are a man of ungovernable temper – a bully who picks on people physically weaker than yourself.”

The court heard he met Bethan on Tinder in July 2017.

Janine Davies, prosecuting, said she initially found him “caring and friendly” but he became aggressive following an argument later that year.
